A cloakroom will be located at the entrance of the conference area after entering through the metal detectors, to the left. This is a staffed, free of charge service.  However, items are left at owner’s own risk.

Paid parking is available in the underground garage at the WFCC. The cost is 3 Euros per hour for the first 2 hours, and thereafter 2.50 Euros per hour. A day ticket costs 12.50 Euros.
